How to make it
Belle: I found a dress pattern that looked similar, and adjusted as needed. I also used a pattern for the apron. I made up the bow for my hair-sewed it out of blue material.
Gaston: I found a pattern for a pirate costume, and it worked really well for Gaston! I made a few adjustments. I used black leather rope and eyelets for the front top. I made arm bands out of faugh leather and added more leather rope in "x" shapes on the fronts of them. We found black boot covers at a costume shop. I made the pants also from the pattern out of black material. I made the belt from more faugh leather and added a buckle from a craft store.
Dopey: I used a shirt to make a pattern for the top of this costume. I added a zipper in the back, and added material at the top for the collar. I then just added a rectangular piece of green material to finish off the bottom. The belt was made out of the black "leather", and I put velcro on the ends. We found big ears at a costume store, and we actually pinned them to the hat I made out of purple fleece. I covered very large buttons with brown felt for the front of the costume, and also made shoe covers from the same felt and elastic.
Alice: I made the dress from an Alice pattern that I found, and added a puffy slip underneath that I already had. I found a blonde wig and made a bow out of black material.
Pinocchio: I used a yellow shirt and added a collar and bow that I made from material. I added yellow ribbon to a black vest. I made shorts from a child's pattern, and added wooden buttons to the front. I made the hat from brown felt, and added a blue stripe. I made the feather from red sticky back felt that I cut out, then stuck together for double thickness. I tacked that on to the hat. We found a cute pinocchio nose from a costume shop. I made shoe covers out of brown felt and elastic.
Peter Pan: Top and hat are from a costume we ordered from Disneyshopping.com, and added brown shorts that he already had. I made shoe covers out of dark brown felt and elastic.
